It is devilish difficult to criticise society and also create human beings (Vili Quotes)
I think the first prerequisite to civilization is an ability to make polite conversation (Vili Quotes)
Nobody before the Pythagorean had thought that mathematical relations held the secret of the universe. Twenty five centuries later, Europe is still blessed and cursed with their heritage. To non-European civilizations, the idea that numbers are the key to both wisdom and power, seems never to have occurred (Vili Quotes)
Snobbery is not merely a silly human weakness but something basic in the mentality of modern man - a symptom which reflects the general sickness, the dislocation of social and cultural values in contemporary civilization (Vili Quotes)
Civilization is a progress from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity toward a definite, coherent heterogeneity (Vili Quotes)
The cynic, a parasite of civilization, lives by denying it, for the very reason that he is convinced that it will not fail (Vili Quotes)
Over all civilizations there hovers the shadow of Ecclesiastes, with his admonition, How dieth the wise man? - As the fool (Vili Quotes)
Men play at tragedy because they do not believe in the reality of the tragedy which is actually being staged in the civilised world (Vili Quotes)
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future (Vili Quotes)
Terrorism must be outlawed by all civilized nations - not explained or rationalized, but fought and eradicated. Nothing can, nothing will justify the murder of innocent people and helpless children (Vili Quotes)
What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls (Vili Quotes)
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men (Vili Quotes)
When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized (Vili Quotes)
Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement (Vili Quotes)
Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing, the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilization in nations (Vili Quotes)
Patriotism, in the trenches, was too remote a sentiment, and at once rejected as fit only for civilians, or prisoners. A new arrival who talked patriotism would soon be told to cut it out (Vili Quotes)
England looked strange to us returned soldiers. We could not understand the war madness that ran about everywhere, looking for a pseudo-military outlet. The civilians talked a foreign language; and it was newspaper language (Vili Quotes)
Civilization has gotten further and further from the so-called 'natural' man, who uses all his faculties: perception, invention, improvisation (Vili Quotes)
Oh yes, there is a vast difference between the savage and the civilized man, but it is never apparent to their wives until after breakfast (Vili Quotes)
We will never be an advanced civilization as long as rain showers can delay the launching of a space rocket (Vili Quotes)
Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall (Vili Quotes)
The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization (Vili Quotes)
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die (Vili Quotes)
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilisation; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment (Vili Quotes)
The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards (Vili Quotes)
